I've already done an experiment to show that if I take two coils and connect the leads together I can physically move one magnet towards the first coil and it will draw a second magnet towards the second coil. Of course this depends on how you wire the coils together as it can also repel the second magnet if you reverse the leads.
Assume I've wired them such that the second magnet will be attracted. The first magnet is inducing a current in the first coil building a magnet field causing a magnetic field to also be created in the second coil which is what attracts it.
My question is; What happens if both magnets are being mechanically moved towards their respective coil? Is the induced current/field doubled or is the second one negated because the magnetic coil 'matches' the induced field?
I probably didn't explain that very well but I'm wondering if you could use this to not only keep magnet 'in synch' (where you want them respective to each other) but also create more current if they happen to be in synch as they are moved?
Thanks,
Mark
